Chevy website: Duramax runs on gasoline?

THE FOLLOWING IS A CUT AND PASTE FROM THE CHEVY HD WEBSITE:


What Makes Silverado Strong?
Powerful Force: Duramax 6.6L Turbo–Diesel and Allison® Transmission
Together, the reliable available Duramax® Diesel and the available legendary Allison transmission have been proving themselves in the field and on the job for over a decade.

Duramax Diesel has impressive torque and horsepower, as well as impressive towing numbers.
  • With a 36–gallon tank (approx.), the Duramax offers up to 680 highway miles4 on a single tank when running on gasoline.

No, just checking out The duramax options. Maybe I will go to a duramax since it's the only diesel I know that runs gasoline! Lol

So then the $20,000 question is: Will Chevy cover the damages if somebody puts gasoline in their warranteed Duramax?
